Function

Component of the centrioles controlling mother and daughter centrioles length. Recruits to the centriole IFT88 and centriole distal appendage-specific proteins including CEP164 (By similarity). Involved in the biogenesis of the cilium, a centriole-associated function. The cilium is a cell surface projection found in many vertebrate cells required to transduce signals important for development and tissue homeostasis (PubMed:33934390). Plays an important role in development by regulating Wnt signaling and the specification of the left-right axis. Only OFD1 localized at the centriolar satellites is removed by autophagy, which is an important step in the ciliogenesis regulation (By similarity).

Involvement in disease

Orofaciodigital syndrome 1

OFD1

A form of orofaciodigital syndrome, a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by abnormalities in the oral cavity, face, and digits and associated phenotypic abnormalities that lead to the delineation of various subtypes. OFD1 is X-linked dominant syndrome, lethal in males. Craniofacial findings consist of facial asymmetry, hypertelorism, median cleft, or pseudocleft of the upper lip, hypoplasia of the alae nasi, oral clefts and abnormal frenulea, tongue anomalies (clefting, cysts, hamartoma), and anomalous dentition involving missing or extra teeth. Asymmetric brachydactyly and/or syndactyly of the fingers and toes occur frequently. Approximately 50% of OFD1 females have some degree of intellectual disability. Some patients have structural central nervous system anomalies such as agenesis of the corpus callosum, cerebellar agenesis, or a Dandy-Walker malformation. Patients with OFD1 can develop fibrocystic disease of the liver and pancreas, in addition to polycystic kidneys.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome 2

SGBS2

A severe variant of Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, a condition characterized by pre- and postnatal overgrowth (gigantism), facial dysmorphism and a variety of inconstant visceral and skeletal malformations.

None

The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Joubert syndrome 10

JBTS10

A disorder presenting with cerebellar ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, hypotonia, neonatal breathing abnormalities and psychomotor delay. Neuroradiologically, it is characterized by cerebellar vermian hypoplasia/aplasia, thickened and reoriented superior cerebellar peduncles, and an abnormally large interpeduncular fossa, giving the appearance of a molar tooth on transaxial slices (molar tooth sign). Additional variable features include retinal dystrophy and renal disease.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Retinitis pigmentosa 23

RP23

A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well.

None

The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation at Ser-735, by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase PKA, triggers ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of OFD1. Also increases its interaction with TBC1D31 and regulates its function in ciliogenesis.

Ubiquitinated by PJA2, upon phosphorylation at Ser-735 by PKA, leads to the proteasomal degradation of OFD1.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the OFD1 family.

Tissue specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed in 9 and 14 weeks old embryos in metanephric mesenchyme, oral mucosa, lung, heart, nasal and cranial cartilage, and brain. Expressed in metanephros, brain, tongue, and limb.
